  • LInking to images rather than embedding
  • Run the action script to remove unused panel items
  • Use symbol for repetitive items such as trees on a map
  • In addition Mr. Bugge spot on suggestion of  save with pdf compatibility off, make sure use compression is on, and include linked files is off

Alonso,

You may save it with Create PDF Compatible file unticked.

And you may change embedded images, if any, to linked ones.

Always save a copy of the original document (including PDF part) before cutting down and doing anything otherwise irreversible.

And make copies with different names/in different places along the way, of course.
